In the midst of a massive budget shortfall, acclaimed Broomfield company Ballet Nouveau Colorado has pulled together dancers from across the country for an event aiming to drum up the $181,000 it now needs to stay alive.

“Moving Together — A Cause for Dance” unites Ballet Nouveau’s own 11-member company with dancers from the Oregon Ballet Theatre, the Washington Ballet, Kansas City Ballet, Ballet Memphis, Trey McIntyre Project and others. The company plans to announce more organizations as they are confirmed.

“We have had a wonderfully successful season on so many levels. The enthusiasm for BNC’s company, school and community programs has been tremendous,” artistic director Garrett Ammon said in a press release. “As for many nonprofit organizations, it has also been a very challenging year for fundraising.”
